Dixon considering run in 2026

If you voted for the losing candidate for governor in 2022, you might want to start looking for those Tudor Dixon yard signs stuffed out there in the garage some place. As you are about to read for the first time, she could run again in 2026. 08/21/2024 09:15 PM

Admin. decision left to next board

Admin. decision left to next board

The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners has spent much of the year since February searching for their next county administrator. The administrator is possibly the most powerful non-elected position, as they have authority over all departments to implement decisions by elected officials. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

3 Things

To the editor: 1. Everyone can and should be who they want to be, genderwise, and otherwise, but the risqué body display for the drag Tea Dance in Northport is not appropriate for children, daytime, or even a photo in Leelanau Enterprise. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Board accomplishments

Board accomplishments

To the editor: This newspaper paints a picture of our Leelanau County Board of Commissioners as an acrimonious and dysfunctional body, in part by devoting a great deal of attention to minor issues. Yet we should remember that the current bipartisan Board has accomplished a lot, often with support by five out of six commissioners. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Dog poo

To the editor: I love dogs. I love animals. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Grateful

To the editor: The Leland Library is thrilled that our operating millage passed with a resounding 70% margin. This community support provides a strong foundation as we work to enhance our library’s facilities and services. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

A column by Brian Freiberger

Take a breathe, still some summer ahead

It’s about that time of year where we are looking ahead to fall. But for me I hate hearing the “F” word because I love summer and events it brings to the peninsula all too much. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Truth in advertising

Truth in advertising

To the editor: For anyone who’s ever attended a BOC meeting, particular attention should be paid to the ‘Approval of Financials’ section. Each Commissioner, on a rotating basis, makes a motion for disbursement of county funds towards specific items. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Interests over ambitions

Interests over ambitions

To the editor: Nikki Haley stated, “The first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the party that wins the election.” Interestingly, Trump, now 78, would be 82 by the end of a potential second term. His recent rallies reveal concerning signs: gibberish, slurred speech, confusion about people and facts. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Extension support

Extension support

To the editor: As a former TART Trails and Leelanau Conservancy board member, I celebrate the connections between human recreation and exploration and responsible well planned access to cherished, conserved places. The Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, winding throughout the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore exemplifies this intersection beautifully. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

‘On True Greatness’

‘On True Greatness’

To the editor: A recent (unsolicited) Trump MAGA mailing got me to thinking, what is greatness? Foremost seems to be “otherness.” Great people don’t have to tell anyone they’re great. Being “great” isn’t a goal in their life. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Grateful for support

Grateful for support

To the editor: Leelanau County Senior Services expresses our sincere gratitude to the voters for supporting the renewal of the Senior Services Millage. The approval reflects the compassion, dedication and commitment that Leelanau County has in taking care of the people who have built our community. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM
